PLANNING AND ZONING: The board reviewed a lot line adjustment involving parcels
03-0164-000, 03-0164-330, 03-0164-340, and a portion of 03-0201-000 that was approved on November 20, 2018 by Zoning Administrator Oleson. Since the lot line adjustment involved Torrens property, the transfer and recording of the property requires a Registered Land Survey.
